the new york observer children ofimartybs descendants of scottish martyrs in north carolina in iredell county in the region be tween the yadkin and the catawba rivers we fell in with a fragment of an old volume with the title page gone and mutilated at the end â€” by whom written or published we know not â€” giving an account of the martyr dom of many persons in scotland in the reigns of cliarles ii aud james ii when in twenty-eight years from 1g60 to 1g8.s 18,000 persons were put to death in various ways in de fence of the solemn league and covenant and christ's headship over the church in looking over the list of names we were struck with the fact that among them are the very names of the scotch-irish emigrants to this re gion from 1740 onwards such as john nisbit archibald allison wm thompson james stewart henry mall robert gray whitelow nich ols wharey smith wilson martin lawson wood harvey miller gon ger johnston finley cockran james robertson john potter skeen mar shall graham mitchell clark mc eweu jackson watt sample c etc it is said that these same names prevail in pennsylvania where these scotch-irish sojourned awhile before they came to north carolina it would seem then that we have here to-day the uneal descendants of those who loved not their lives unto thedeath but were drowned handed shot beheaded and their heads stuck upon poles their bodies chopped in pieces and scattered about iu the days of claverhouse e_c they were wor thy descendants of such an ancestry this will appear in various ways they were an intelligent people and labored to educate their children one old lady says that her parents said that they would do this if they had to live on corn-bread and go with in sufficient clothing as soon as they had erected a log church or even a stand for preaching they placed the school house beside it â€” the country is dotted all over with the 3_tes of these buildings â€” both english and classi cal schools in one place the great moses waddell d i afterwards when fourteen years old born and brought up in this country taught a large school consisting of boys much older than himself on the same spot where marshall ney taught fifty years after dr james hall d d who came from pennsylvania with his father in 1751 and settled on fifth creek near where now bethany church p o is on colton 3 atlas was highly influen tial in promoting education he grad uated at princeton college in 1774 the first of the name of hall who graduated there was ordained at statesville 1778 ; then fourth creek church ; went to general assembly sixteen times was moderator of that body in 1803 in which year he re ceived from his alma mater the de gree of d d the only man from the south of the potomac who was present in new york in 1816 at the formation of the american bible society we have not space to speak of the schools which he established espe cially the clio academy on snow creek ten miles north of statesville from 1775 to 1787 which nearly fill ed the place of a college but we will mention one of his measures for cir culating knowledge it was a singu lar circulating library owned by a joint stock company and had as many lots of books as there were share of stock they were all returned and drawn out again every three months on the first tuesday of february may august and november there were no books in the place of deposit except at these times they were then laid on a revolving table with as many divisions as there were books at each meeting they appointed a chairman secretary aud a committee of inspection if any one failed to return the books in possession or had injured them he was lined according to the amount of damage then when ready for re-distribution the table was turned equal to one division and each member would have befoie him the next lot below what he had before and in the course of time each one would have had out every lot of the books these meetings were held at john nisbet's store the greatest cen tre of business in this countv long before the court house was located at statesville 1790 and that store is still standing the books were origi nally of a solid and useful character and had a great influence on the minds of the people it is said that when the first set of books had been read through and sold and a new set purchased they were not equally sat isfactory and they were sold out aud the library broken up about 1828 we meet frequently with some of these books and other brought here by the first settlers when they emi grated â€” theological scientific and classical â€” and these show what kind of people they were we found a copy of the geneva bible with beza's notes to the n t printed by christopher barker 1g15 at the same time that he printed the first edition of

the new york observer children ofimartybs descendants of scottish martyrs in north carolina in iredell county in the region be tween the yadkin and the catawba rivers we fell in with a fragment of an old volume with the title page gone and mutilated at the end â€” by whom written or published we know not â€” giving an account of the martyr dom of many persons in scotland in the reigns of cliarles ii aud james ii when in twenty-eight years from 1g60 to 1g8.s 18,000 persons were put to death in various ways in de fence of the solemn league and covenant and christ's headship over the church in looking over the list of names we were struck with the fact that among them are the very names of the scotch-irish emigrants to this re gion from 1740 onwards such as john nisbit archibald allison wm thompson james stewart henry mall robert gray whitelow nich ols wharey smith wilson martin lawson wood harvey miller gon ger johnston finley cockran james robertson john potter skeen mar shall graham mitchell clark mc eweu jackson watt sample c etc it is said that these same names prevail in pennsylvania where these scotch-irish sojourned awhile before they came to north carolina it would seem then that we have here to-day the uneal descendants of those who loved not their lives unto thedeath but were drowned handed shot beheaded and their heads stuck upon poles their bodies chopped in pieces and scattered about iu the days of claverhouse e_c they were wor thy descendants of such an ancestry this will appear in various ways they were an intelligent people and labored to educate their children one old lady says that her parents said that they would do this if they had to live on corn-bread and go with in sufficient clothing as soon as they had erected a log church or even a stand for preaching they placed the school house beside it â€” the country is dotted all over with the 3_tes of these buildings â€” both english and classi cal schools in one place the great moses waddell d i afterwards when fourteen years old born and brought up in this country taught a large school consisting of boys much older than himself on the same spot where marshall ney taught fifty years after dr james hall d d who came from pennsylvania with his father in 1751 and settled on fifth creek near where now bethany church p o is on colton 3 atlas was highly influen tial in promoting education he grad uated at princeton college in 1774 the first of the name of hall who graduated there was ordained at statesville 1778 ; then fourth creek church ; went to general assembly sixteen times was moderator of that body in 1803 in which year he re ceived from his alma mater the de gree of d d the only man from the south of the potomac who was present in new york in 1816 at the formation of the american bible society we have not space to speak of the schools which he established espe cially the clio academy on snow creek ten miles north of statesville from 1775 to 1787 which nearly fill ed the place of a college but we will mention one of his measures for cir culating knowledge it was a singu lar circulating library owned by a joint stock company and had as many lots of books as there were share of stock they were all returned and drawn out again every three months on the first tuesday of february may august and november there were no books in the place of deposit except at these times they were then laid on a revolving table with as many divisions as there were books at each meeting they appointed a chairman secretary aud a committee of inspection if any one failed to return the books in possession or had injured them he was lined according to the amount of damage then when ready for re-distribution the table was turned equal to one division and each member would have befoie him the next lot below what he had before and in the course of time each one would have had out every lot of the books these meetings were held at john nisbet's store the greatest cen tre of business in this countv long before the court house was located at statesville 1790 and that store is still standing the books were origi nally of a solid and useful character and had a great influence on the minds of the people it is said that when the first set of books had been read through and sold and a new set purchased they were not equally sat isfactory and they were sold out aud the library broken up about 1828 we meet frequently with some of these books and other brought here by the first settlers when they emi grated â€” theological scientific and classical â€” and these show what kind of people they were we found a copy of the geneva bible with beza's notes to the n t printed by christopher barker 1g15 at the same time that he printed the first edition of
